CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--Harvard sophomore defenseman
Danny Biega was featured Friday on Yahoo! Sports following a strong
performance at the National Hockey League Entry Draft combine. It
was the latest in a series of profiles on the Montreal native.

The article begins:

When Danny Biega returns to school
in September he might have a new nickname on campus: The Harvard
Hulk.

While Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin
did most of the talking as the highly-sought-after top prospects at
the recent NHL draft combine, it was Biega who did the heavy
lifting. The 18-year-old was one of the best performers, having
finished first out of a 100 other prospects in most of the upper
body tests including grip strength in both hands, bench press,
push/pull strength and a power test using a four-kilogram
ball.

Biega was also recently featured by the Montreal Gazette.
The article begins:

In the wake of the NHL scouting
combine, many were wondering just how valuable all that gruelling
physical testing we see on our television screens at night really
is.

No matter what they did on the
Wingate or how many times they were able to bench press 150 pounds,
there remains little doubt that Windsor Spitfires winger Taylor
Hall and Plymouth Whalers centre Tyler Seguin will be gone by the
time the Boston Bruins finish making the second overall selection
in the NHL entry draft on June 25 in Los Angeles.

But for some of the players farther
down the list - those with nothing to lose and everything to gain -
the combine provided a unique opportunity to perhaps open some eyes
in the NHL's player-development departments.
